[verse 1]
        Bb           Eb
She can kill with a smile,
          Bb              Eb
she can wound with her eyes.
She can ruin your
Ab              Abmaj7  Ab   Abmaj7
faith with her casual lies.
And she
Bb7     Eb              Bb            G
only reveals what she wants you to see.
    Cm           Cm/Bb
She hides like a child,
          Ab        Bb7      Eb Ebsus4 Eb
but she's always a woman to me.

[verse 2]
        Bb           Eb
She can lead you to love,
          Bb           Eb
she can take you or leave you.
        Eb           Ab
She can ask for the truth,
             Abmaj7     Ab      Ab6
but she'll never believe you
Ab
And she'll
Bb7            Eb           Bb7         G
take what you give her as long it's free
    Cm            Cm/Bb
She steals like a thief,
but she's
Ab6      Bb7       Eb  Ebsus4 Eb Ddim
always a woman to me.

[chorus]
Cm Cm/Bb F7        F7         Bb Bb/A Gm
Ohhh... she takes care of herself.
        Eb           Ab Ab/G Fm   Bb7
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead
       Eb  Ab Eb
of her time.
Ebm Ebm7 Ab/C      Ab
Ohhh  ...  and she never
         Db Db/C     Bbm
gives out,
        Gb6          B B/A#
and she never gives in,
Adim7   F7          Bb   Bb6 Bb7
she just changes her mind.

[verse 3]
         Bb7
And she'll promise you
Eb             Bb         Eb
 more than the garden of Eden
            Eb7
Then she'll carelessly
Ab           Abmaj7              Ab6  Ab
cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
        Bb7
But she brings out the
 Eb            Bb7           G
best and the worst you can be.
         Cm         Cm/Bb
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's
Ab6      Bb7       Eb Ebsus4  Eb  Ebsus2
always a women to me.

and she never gives in,
Adim7   F7          Bb   Bb6 Bb7
she just changes her mind.

[verse 4]
      Bb7         Eb
She's frequently kind and
        Bb        Eb
she's suddenly cruel
        Eb7        Ab
She can do as she pleases,
        Abmaj7     Ab
she's nobody's fool
        Bb7       Eb
But she can't be convicted,
        Bb7           G
she's earned her degree
        Cm
And the most she will
Cm/Bb        Ab          Eb
do is throw shadows at you,
             Fm       Bb7   Eb Ebsus4 Eb
but she's always a woman to me
